Erin Brockovich working for NYC law firm that specializes in asbestos cases

NEW YORK - The legal crusader portrayed by Julia Roberts in the Oscar-winning film Erin Brockovich is now working for a Manhattan personal injury law firm that specializes in asbestos cases.

The real Erin Brockovich signed a consulting contract with Weitz & Luxenberg and will be involved in soliciting cases and investigating claims. Brockovich told the New York Post: "I'm hands-on and they're hands-on so it will be a team effort."

Already the 48-year-old Brockovich has filmed two TV commercials for the law firm seeking individuals who may have contracted lung cancer from exposure to asbestos, the Daily News reported. Brockovich also consults with a West Coast law firm, Girardi & Keese.

Roberts won an Oscar for her portrayal of the environmental activist in the 2000 movie.

She says the Hilton portrait is titled "Paris, 2008," and posters of it will be sold for $20 each at the gallery.
